Pre-Trident Days
Nothing much is known with Larry Markson, with the exception that he was responsible for founding
Trident Corporation afterNATO had declared the former R&D division as a rogue organization. Thanks to him, he was able to get funding from the major corporations including Clovers Heavy Industries, Campbell Company and Takasumi Zaibatsu. One of his major goals was to kidnap a youngJean Jacquemonde and extract some of his cells for Trident's covert genetic engineering research as part of their biological weapons programSpriggan: Volume 5 - The Lycanthrope Legacy -Chuang Yi , ISBN 981-269-547-8.] .He had played a role that resulted in the death of Maria and Mark Felton, Jean's mother and younger brother. Jean swore revenge after
Tea Flatte assisted him in breaking out of the Forces Armees Francaises research facility inFrance Spriggan: Volume 5 - The Lycanthrope Legacy -Chuang Yi , ISBN 981-269-547-8.] .In Romania
Larry went to
Romania with platoons of Trident soldiers, accompanied byIwao Akatsuki and Dary Graham in order to confront the Spriggans that were assembling there. With them was Jean's estanged father, Rick Bordeau. Though Trident forces were defeated by Spriggans with one killed by Dary's vampiric powers, Rally seemed satisfied that the Spriggans were driven off for now.Cooperation
As the series progressed, he gained the cooperation of ARCAM President
Henry Garnum in securing relics from theSouth Pole , including the ability to use theSouth Pole Shrine . [The part of using the Fire Snakes when unleashed from theSouth Pole Shrine were accidentally including in their operations] He had the initial "cooperation" from ARCAM personnel from the likes ofRie Yamabishi to Eva McMahon in their excavation. Unfortunately,Iwao Akatsuki came to the area and hadYu Ominae andJean Jacquemonde to help him after he defected from theTrident Corporation , forcing him to send COSMOS to execute him for betraying the company.As the trio foiled the attempts of Larry to unleash the Fire Snake, he tried to escape in a helicopter. Bad thing for him was that Iwao cornered him and punched him in the face.
Known Conditions
It was known that
Iwao Akatsuki helped him on his feet after punching him in the face. This move indicates that Akatsuki could have reconciled with Larry. Though others may have other opinions as this scene was left to the interpretation of the readers also. [This is left to the interpretation of the readers.]Character
Larry is a shrewed man, who would use anything to gain an advantage over his enemies. At one point, he had thought of using Bowman and Rick Bordeau to fight against
Yu Ominae andJean Jacquemonde as the two had prior relationships before they became Spriggan operatives. [Bowman was Yu's Spriggan instructor, while Rick was Jean's estranged father.] Though his plans failed, Larry still keeps on using more leverages to give him an advantage, such as gaining an alliance withHenry Garnum and to useRie Yamabishi ,Mayzel and other ARCAM personnel who are suspicious of the alliance in order to keep them in line.References
